getPersonCredit

Description

The getPersonCredits can be used to retrieve information about earlier created EBF credits.
Note: only 1 credit per ean and only credits with a state of “NotYetUsable”, “NotActive” and “Active” are returned. Credits with a state of “Blocked” or “Expired” will not be returned. The state of a credit is defined by the publisher and may in some cases show discrepancies in combination with the “endDate” in the response: e.g. the credit may have a state of “Active”, while the “endDate” lies in the past. in this case the credit is returned by the call, even though it’s not usable.

The call can be used to show the available credits to the user.
